26.6.85
Legislative Council (Powers and Privileges) Bill 1985
Committee Stage
I move that Clause 14 (2) be amended as set out in the
paper tabled before the Council today.
The proposed amendments, if adopted, would result in a
new Clause 14(2) as detailed below:
"No person, other than a public officer acting with
the consent of the Governor, shall before the Council
or a committee
(a) give any evidence; or
(b) produce any paper, book, record or document,
relating to the correspondence concerning
(1) any naval, military or air force matter or
of any other matter relating to the security
of Hong Kong: or
(2) the responsibilities of Her Majesty's
Government in the United Kingdom otherwise
than with respect to the Administration of
Hong Kong by its Government,
nor shall secondary evidence be received by or produced before the Council or a committee of the
contents of any such paper, book, record or document."
